Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum - I stumbled upon this 2000 South Carolina quarter today. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight in terms of how common this is, as well as it it's worth anything in relation to collector(s) Also what might be said value?
Thank you for your time

Re: 2000 South Carolina Quarter / Half balnk
It could be a uniface strike when another planchet get's in the way and the die strikes them both so that one doesn't get struck with the intended design, but it blank on one side. It's worth something but I am not sure if that's what this is, so it needs a better image or looked at in hand.

Re: 2000 South Carolina Quarter / Half balnk
1. does the 'center' of the 'blank side', have a "small dot"?...or a tiny 'raised area'?
2. if you look at the outer rim, can you 'see any markings', does the 'reeding' have any (3-4) "flattened areas"?
3. if you look at the coin 'from the side', at a sharper 'angle', with 'a single light source' that is "AWAY FROM YOU", do you see any concentric circles on the blank side?

Re: 2000 South Carolina Quarter / Half balnk
Please weigh the coin.
Is an error, all the metal will be there, just unformed. Should weigh 5.67g
Thickness at the rim is also likely only slightly affected by the error. Should be 1.75 mm.
Lastly, do you see three layers on the edge, or two?
(If silver, there will be only one, but this doesn't appear to be a proof.)
All these questions point to someone intentionally removing the obverse layer of the coin.

There appears to be 3 concentric circles looking at it the way you described, if I tilt it the other way I could see my fingers reflectionPALH1 wrote:1. does the 'center' of the 'blank side', have a "small dot"?...or a tiny 'raised area'?
A small dot about half the size of a pea in what I would call the exact center.
2. if you look at the outer rim, can you 'see any markings', does the 'reeding' have any (3-4) "flattened areas"?
Upon further examination of the side (see image) there are there slightly, my fingernail doesn't really catch, they feel smooth.[/i][/color]

I have access to a electronic high power microscope at work and a better scale than my food scale here at home. I will report these findings tomorrow, thank you all for the help so far; I really appreciate it.mhonzell wrote:Please weigh the coin.
